The constant camera movement and zoom-ins alone annoyed me, let alone the unnatural dialog. Another fail; Microsoft should just stick to using the adorable girl from the "I'm A PC" commercial.

Thanks, for the nice post. I think that microsoft should give out money to everyone who does a party for their lauch. But check out the link below for more information how you can even get paid for it.
c'mon, their both parodies and you've been taken ;)

For some reason I don't believe that any 1 of those 3 white people know any black people in real life. Way to throw in the token black guy.
Did an advertising agency actually get paid for coming up with and producing this idea?
Stick to "I'm 4 years old and I'm a PC" commercials. This is brutal.

I watched this video in absolute horror yesterday, and kept thinking, "where's the punch line? Is this a JOKE?" I'm embarrassed on behalf of the agency who created the video, but hoping to actually have a good launch party despite their best recommendations on how NOT to do it.

Are people actually holding Windows 7 launch parties? I mean, I know I'm a geek and a Mac fanboy but I would NEVER celebrate the release of any software. That's like beyond being embarrassingly geek. You're basically being recruited to do Microsoft's bidding. It's their ploy to make you feel "involved" in its release.
I watched the entire video in all of its awkward glory.

Any of you all who don't like it, that's your choice. I'm having my Windows 7 party and me and my buddies are going to have a good time! We've loved Windows 7 RC, and can't wait to have the final product. And the party!

Didn't they learn from that hideous Windows 95 video with Jennifer Aniston and Matthew Perry? (look for it on YouTube) Here's how to throw a Windows party: place your PC in the punch bowl and go buy a Mac : )
You've GOT to be kidding me. I too found it painful to watch the whole thing, even though it's under 7 minutes. I didn't think a corporation as large as Microsoft would do something so obviously backward. Maybe I will have to buy a Mac next time...
